Our support has worked as we have planned.

This are the words of the Norwegian Minister of Foreign affairs, Jonas Gahr Støre. He is satisfied with the results of the monetary support to religious school in Pakistan.
Norway have been sponsoring a pilot project where 117 religious schools in Pakistan have been strengthen by opening the curriculum for secular subjects. The project have been implemented by the Pakistani Government.
«Even though we are satisfied, the project needs to be evaluated before we can give our commitment to further support», explains Støre.

My comment:
The Minister did not specify how the Government of Norway have measured the effectiveness of their support:
Thats why we need to ask for some clarifications:
1. Did some of the Pakistani youth become Christians seeing the goodness provided from Norway?
2. Did the secular education program make the Islamic youth renounce violence as a tool to persecute and kill people who are not Muslims?
3. Or, did the support from Norway better enabled the religious students to become more committed to Islam?
Well, the answer can not be both 1 and 3. If the answer 3 mirrors the reality on the ground, than The Christian Lutheran Kingdom of Norway have a lot of explanation to do, the day Jesus of Nazareth returns to Earth.
